Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 255 The Lu Family in Dongcheng County

It is said that "Suhu is cooked, the world is full", the main grain producing area of ​​Suzhou is actually Xuzhou in the Three Kingdoms era.

To put it bluntly, this place in Xuzhou is 'no danger to defend', and 'the place of the Four Wars', it is also an important grain production place, so it is naturally a place where 'military strategists must fight'.Speaking of the largest grain merchant in Xuzhou, there is none other than the Lu family. However, the Mi family has also started to prosper in Donghai County in recent years, and it seems that they are in a ring with the Lu family.

"Speaking of which, Lu Su seems to be from Dongcheng County too, so he can't be from the Lu family?" Li Ming rode his horse in front, and Chi Yan was very comfortable staying in Kuaiji Mountain. There was someone to take care of him every day, so he didn't need to be brought out for wandering.

The key is that those piglets and Lei Ting need to be fed, how troublesome it is to ride north.

"My lord is calling someone?" Dian Jie seemed to have heard Li Ming's muttering.

"It's nothing, just talking to myself." Li Ming hurried over. He knew Lu Su, but the latter didn't know him. In fact, if it weren't for the article "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows" in the Chinese textbook, Li Ming would also be familiar with Lu Su. Can't get up.

Departing from Shanyin, entering Jiujiang County via Wu County and Danyang County, it is more than 550 miles before and after, and then north to Dongcheng County, it is nearly [-] miles.Fortunately, the official road was smooth, and after a few quick marches, it took Li Ming and his party seven days to finally arrive here.

Dianjie, the head of the bodyguard, accompanied him first. Zhou Shang officially went to Yuji County to take up his post a few days ago, and Zhang Mo and Dianjie returned to Shanyin County to return to their posts.It's just that he didn't expect to be brought out by Li Ming just after he came back.

The other one is Bai Xin, who is eloquent and good at communication, so of course he is the best candidate for negotiating.The key point is that after working in the yamen for too long, Bai Xin also wants to come out to get some air.You young man, you can't sit still!
"Go away, don't get in the way!" Just entering the city, I didn't want to see a caravan rampage from a distance, and even knocked down a few passers-by in front of them. Complain about nothing, just admit that you are unlucky.

"Who is so tyrannical?" Dianjie was immediately annoyed that a mere lowly businessman dared to be so tyrannical.

"I'm afraid there is someone backing them behind the caravan! Dianjie, go and ask what kind of caravan it is..." Li Ming thought for a while, and then instructed Dianjie.He is naturally not interested in ordinary caravans. The problem is that the caravans are obviously transporting food.

Not long after, Dianjie came back with a strange expression on his face.When he came to Li Ming, he cupped his hands and said, "I've asked, it's the people from Lu's Grain Store in Dongcheng who are replenishing the grain stores in various counties."

Lu's grain business, that means Lu's people.The servants of the Lu family are so domineering, I am afraid that the temper of the Lu family is not much better. This time I went to negotiate with them, there may be some problems, and I may go to the East China Sea to try my luck.

In fact, if the technology of the shipbuilding industry reaches that level, it will be faster to take a boat directly from the coastal area to Donghai County, and it will definitely be within five days if the straight-line distance is slower.The key is that shipping must be more than loading and transporting. After deducting some unstable factors, the efficiency will be much faster.

Intermittently along the way, I also inquired about Lu's news.Only then did I know that the previous generation of the Lu family was run by Xuzhou Book Cao, which established the status of the Lu family; however, the second generation of the family died early, leaving only one son, Lu Su, who is only 15 years old this year. Lu Su's grandmother came to manage it.

Lu Su's grandmother is old, and many things are handed over to her nephew, but that nephew is getting more and more violent because of Lu's name.However, Lu Su himself, at a young age, has a kind heart, and often uses his family's money to help the poor.The villagers around, the more they hated the steward, the more they liked Lu Su.

"So that's the case, the Patriarch is young, so the power is left behind..." Li Ming nodded, and the matter was understood.

The Lu family is worthy of being a big family in Dongcheng County. They built a Wubao directly outside the city. The Chinese law clearly prohibits the construction of Wubao. This law exists in name only.

"This is no longer Wubao, it can be said to be a small city!" From a distance, Wubao looks huge, but even Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised when he looked closer.

"Who is here? Do you know that this place is the Lu family's private land?!" Before approaching, they saw more than 300 soldiers holding bows and arrows on Wubao. Perhaps they saw Li Ming leading troops approaching, so they couldn't help being on guard.

"I am Li Ming, the prefect of Kuaiji County. I have a big deal to discuss, and I hope to pass it on!" Li Ming stepped forward and said with cupped hands.

"You said that you are the prefect or the prefect? ​​Do you have any evidence?!" The other party didn't believe it at all. Speaking of this, Kuaiji County is so far away from Xuzhou, and the majestic prefect came to Dongcheng County, a small place in person, how can people believe it?

"What? You still need the official seal to believe me?" Li Ming snorted coldly.

"Hehe..." An elderly woman came out with a cane, "Your Excellency, there is no need to get angry. The boys below are also thinking about the safety of the Lu family. If you offend me, I will apologize to you!"

After speaking, Yingying saluted, this was already her limit, after all, she was too old to exercise vigorously.

"Li is indeed the prefect of Kuaiji, and he came here this time only to buy a batch of grain from Lu's grain store for emergency." Li Ming said, cupping his hands.

"I've heard about the situation in Kuaiji County. It's just that the group of men behind you are vicious. Can you stay outside? It's just a transaction, no need to use knives and guns, right?" The old woman smiled and motioned for the servants to open the door.

"Bai Xin, follow me in, Dianjie, wait outside!" Li Ming turned around and ordered.

"My lord, be careful, we need to give a signal, let's go straight in!" Dianjie said worriedly.

"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me!" Li Ming smiled, left the horse and spear behind, hung the sword on his waist, and led Bai Xin into the Wubao.After entering the gate, the steward naturally led Li Ming to the hall.Li Ming's status as the prefect was placed there, so Lu Shi naturally wanted to entertain him as a guest.

The one sitting first was naturally the old woman just now, who seemed to be Lu Su's grandmother.There is a 15-year-old child on the right side of the lower part, but it already gives people a capable and calm feeling.As for the position on the left, it was naturally reserved for Li Ming.What is rare is that the chairs used in the hall are actually sold in Kuaiji County.

"These chairs were purchased directly from Kuaiji County. It is said that they were invented by the prefect. Your lord is really a genius!" , can do this, Li Ming can be said to be fully qualified to be recorded in the annals of history?

"Huaiji County was poor, and Li's money was tight at the time, so he had no choice but to think of ways to make money." Li Ming was a little embarrassed by the words, and immediately returned the courtesy, and then replied politely.

"My lord said he was going to buy grain, I already understood, but now the business of grain is handed over to my nephew. He's not here, so we can't talk casually..." The old woman smiled, and then handed over her hands to apologize .

"If you say that you can't decide what to do, Li won't believe it. Li is a good judge of people. Whether it's the old lady or this young man, if you really plan to make a move, your nephew is nothing at all. ..." Li Ming looked at the two of them playfully.

　To be honest, there was a problem in the initial investigation of Lu Su's experience, so 1500 words were deleted, and there were still some flaws in the further investigation.At that time, Lu Su probably moved to Dongcheng County later, instead of living in Dongcheng County all the time, but this is the setting in this book. For the follow-up setting, after all, I am too lazy to modify so much.
